If you're a parent, and you have a daughter, this new ad from the Hillary Clinton campaign will likely hit you straight in the gut.

It features quiet shots of young girls, considering themselves pensively in front of mirrors. You're moved to wonder what they are thinking, perhaps hoping it's thoughts like, "I look pretty," "I'm beautiful," "I'm happy with myself."

But then, Donald Trump barges in, via voiceover and scenes from interviews in which he spews harsh, misogynist slurs:

"I'd look her right into that fat, ugly face of hers …"
"She's a slob."
"She ate like a pig."
"A person who is flat chested is very hard to be a '10'"
"Does she have a good body? No. Does she have a fat [bleep]? Absolutely."
